I think is better to say "software usable in 10 minutes" for people that is not a full time developer.

Things like excel, access fit there. The big mistake is not provide a way out the "click and get a full app!" step. This in when things go to fail with this kind of ideas.

I learn foxpro as my first language and is surprising how many "non developers" use it in the day.

I think it get loved precisely because was a bit "harder" than access: You hit a wall with access/excel much faster than foxpro/jupyter, making them for some people HARDER tools than the "harder" tool.

Not fun when things are easy, and suddenly, impossible. I say that we can give people credit and them could learn some complex stuff, as long fit well their use case.
